With revenues of $307 million in 2011, over 3,500 employees, and more than 6,000 farmers and third party suppliers, Alquería is one of the leading dairy producers in Colombia. On a national level, as of 2011 Alquería controls 13% of the milk market.
Colombians consume around 140 liters of milk per year, making Colombia the second largest consumer market in Latin America, after Costa Rica.
Alquería also has a minority ownership in DASA, a joint venture with Danone, which produces and markets yogurt products under the Danone brand.
